A woman from Kerrville is in the Brazos County jail on charges of breaking into seven work trucks that were parked in Wixon Valley and attempted to steal up to $20,000 dollars in copper wiring. A Brazos County sheriff’s deputy writes in his arrest report that multiple shoe prints next to a stack of tools and spools of copper that were removed from the trucks, matched the shoes of the 42 year old woman who denied burglarizing the vehicles. The woman told the deputy she had parked in the lot because she got tired while driving from Montgomery County to Kerrville. La Dawn Dressen, who was arrested Tuesday night (October 7), remains jailed as of October 9 in lieu of bonds totaling $41,000 dollars.
